Chapter 67: chapter 67

Manroop - Hmm… Okay.Aman - And what do you do? I mean your profession. Manroop - I have my own academy. I love teaching. Aman - Oh that’s great. You must be preparing for competitive exams also? Right? Manroop - Wrong. I am not preparing for any competitive exam. Actually, I am not even interested in any government jobs!Aman - What! You are not interested in government jobs! Then what are you interested in? Manroop - I am interested in expanding my own academy. Because in government jobs our income is very limited. We can’t grow there. But if we do our own business then we can earn in lakhs per month. Aman - Oh wow! You are very ambitious!Manroop - Yes, I am. Aman - That’s great. Somewhere I read, if you think of the moon then you will definitely land up in the stars. You will get success for sure. Manroop - Thanks for motivating me. Aman - I don’t think I should ask this but I want to ask one question from you if you don’t mind. Manroop - Yeah, sure. You can ask me. Aman - Hmm… how much do you earn per month from your academy? Manroop - Haha! Only this you wanted to ask! I felt as if you were about to ask something very awkward. Hehe!Aman - Haha! I wanted to ask only that. Actually, I heard over and over that we should not ask about income from a girl. (Giggled.)Manroop - Hehe! Don’t worry. I am not that kind of silly girls. I am very understanding. I am very sophisticated. I can understand these things very well. Aman - Oh, thanks for understanding. You seem to be a very understanding girl. Manroop - Yeah. I am. Aman - By the way, what’s your qualification?Manroop - I have done M.Sc.Aman - Wow! That’s really great. I am just an Arts student. (Giggled.)Manroop - What’s wrong with Arts? Arts is also good. Aman - You know, among common masses Arts is just a stigma! Those who are duffer, stupid, not ready to work hard, only these kinds of students go for Arts. And it’s a fact also. Rare are the students who are intelligent and keep Arts. Normally, it doesn’t happen. Manroop - Yeah, you are right. But in my eyes, Arts is also good. Aman - I know because you are not among the common masses. You are special. I heard beeps while talking to her. When I checked, it was Hemlatta’s call. I thought, “Oh shit! What should I do now? I can’t even disconnect her call in between. She will feel very awkward.”Manroop - Thanks for your compliment. Hey, I want to ask one more thing from you. Aman - Yeah, sure. Manroop - So, what are your future plans? Aman - My future is already planned. I am on a government job. Hehe. Manroop - Haha. Not like that. I want to ask if you have any plans that you will do this or that in the future to increase your income.Aman - No, I don’t have any plans yet. She said in a bit less energetic tone, “Oh… okay.”Aman - Hmm…Silence prevailed for about a minute. Then she said, “I have one problem. I need to discuss with you.”I thought, “Which problem is she going to tell me?”Manroop - I can’t survive without meat. Is it okay with you? Aman - Oh gosh! I am a pure vegetarian! Do you love meat so much?Manroop - Actually, the doctor has advised me to have meat. He said that if I don’t take meat in my diet then I may fall ill. Aman - Oh, it’s sad. Manroop - That’s why I am asking you if you have any problem with that. If you have a problem with it then let me know. Aman - Hmm…The thing is that I am a pure vegetarian and I don’t like meat. But if a doctor has advised you to take meat in your diet, then it’s okay. I can think about it. I will pray to God that one day, you will become completely fine. Manroop - Oh wow! That’s so cute. Aman - I really wish it from the bottom of my heart. Manroop - Aww…Aman - I am wondering that you are from Haryana and I am from Punjab. Can you manage in Punjab? You have to leave your academy and everything if it goes well between us. Manroop - Yeah, it’s very difficult to leave an already running business. I have done a lot of hard work to make myself popular here. But if something goes between us good then I can think about that. Aman - Hmm….Manroop - Oh, I am getting a call from my dad. See you later on. I have to go. Bye. Aman - Okay, tata, take care. Manroop - Take care. Bye. I said to myself, “Thank God she is gone! Now, I can call Hemlatta.” I called Hemlatta and she picked up my phone. She almost shouted, “Where were you? Your phone was busy! You were not picking up my phone.”Aman - Hey, please calm down. I was nowhere. Actually, my mom wanted to talk to her sister. She took my phone and she talked to her for a long time. When I took my phone back, I saw that you had called me many times. So, I called you back and you started shouting at me! Haha! Hemlatta - Hehe! I was thinking of something else. Aman - What were you thinking? Hemlatta - I was thinking that you were talking to any other girl (Her voice became very low while saying the last words.)Aman - Oh! You are becoming possessive for me! That’s great! (Chuckled)Hemlatta - No, no. I am not becoming possessive for you. I giggled and said, “You just became jealous now. You felt as if I was talking to any other girl! You became jealous! I felt that! Hehe!”Hemlatta - No, no. I didn’t become jealous. I just asked casually. From her voice, I could easily sense that she was blushing. I thought, “All my love darts are hitting the bull’s eyes!”Aman - You did get jealous! I know that! Hehe! I guess you are falling in love with me. (It will be so nice of you, if you leave at least a single word comment 🌺❇️🌹🌺❇️)
